IPL 2018, CSK vs KKR: What can you expect from both teams ahead of their second match?
Chennai Super Kings will be playing for the first time in their fortress after the two-year hiatus. The Super Kings are back and the Whistle Podu army will be ready to welcome them home. The atmosphere in Chennai is upbeat with the return of CSK and the same was observed when thousands arrived to watch the practice sessions.
With both KKR and CSK coming into their second game with a victory in their kitty, we can expect another thriller from the teams who will be looking for their third IPL trophy.
Here are the things to expect from the game tonight.
#1 Team changes in CSK
With Kedar Jadhav being ruled out of the IPL season, Chennai will have to change their team composition. The Super Kings will miss his hard-hitting abilities, but they'll look forward to building on without him after his winning runs in the first match.
With an empty slot in the middle order, Ambati Rayudu can move back to his preferred position. The opening duties will now most probably be taken up by the Chennai lad, Murali Vijay. Vijay has a point to prove and will be looking forward to the opportunity. Other than that, with no swinging conditions on offer Deepak Chahar may give way for Shardul Thakur.
David Willey who was signed as an injury replacement will most likely join the team within a week and may play a few matches, providing cover to the veteran Shane Watson.
